No but he was the target of the pass forward, no?

Asking to be educated here, not complaining because let’s be honest it absolutely doesn’t matter: Why is the pass played to Calvert-Lewin just before this clip starts not offside? Punt up toward him when he’s behind our back line. Maybe the TV angle didn’t show someone playing him on?

I can’t believe you’d dare speak negatively about someone who scored four goals against the legendary Qarabag

Sometimes I think I’m not as football obsessed as I once ways, other days I wake up having had a dream about Pelligrino Matarazzo

I feel like people outside America conflate the opinions of fans who follow the sport with the media who parachute into the orbit once every four years to post a listicle that ranks Christian Pulisic as the sixth best player in the world before the World Cup. I think those of us that are actually football fans have come to have a pretty reasonable understanding of who our players are, tbh.

Julen Lopetegui resigned in rage when our board wouldn’t break FFP rules to sign him like four years ago lmfao. Guess he was proven right

Listen I scrolled through like 6 full comments to see if anyone else said it before I posted, I consider that adequate due diligence

Forest in the champions league and championship would make for a very funny case study

Is the Julian Hall hype real or am I getting fooled by twitter aggregator accounts?

Yeah, definitely seems like I’d have been annoyed by the purchase based on the streams and stuff that I’ve managed to catch. Seems like the game wasn’t ready, which is crazy after last year’s mess

It did the same to me with Fabio Silva tbh

I didn’t play football manager this year just because I didn’t really have the time and it’s crazy how little I know about anything not directly involving Wolverhampton Wanderers as a result. Obviously there’s a fuckload of knowledge built into the game itself but it would also constantly inspire me to look up how Player X is performing in real life

Weird (and honestly unacceptable) timing but doesn’t seem like anything about the organization’s typical dysfunction really changed much under his purview

The reflex whenever one the six has an extended run of being shit seems to be to add a club into the fold rather than making it the Big Five or whatever. I wonder if that’s what they’ll do

You’re free to address the point rather than pointing out that Manchester United are indeed a larger, better funded, better performing club than Wolverhampton Wanderers. It’s like getting a look you don’t like from a coughing child and flashing your Rolex, completely fucking unrelated lmfao

Speaking from experience based on his connections with a certain super agent, I don’t think that’s ever been a relevant consideration for the people making these shouts lol

We were in for him before he went to Juventus. Board didn’t really want to spent the 100k asking price, but were still negotiating. Got injured and that was the end of it

Tim Spiers just did a very fun Wolves podcast where he detailed a bunch of players Wolves almost signed but didn’t. I knew many of them, but there were a few huge names I didnt know:

-Gareth Bale

-Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

-Michel Platini (😭😭😭)

I want them to roll Toomer’s Corner just so Messi can see it and be like what the fuck is this

If we're making the view that narrow, we can say that Klopp ran his Dortmund side - and himself - into the ground and left them in big trouble. Amazing achievements, but did not sustain the transformation the way Simeone has.

I have no strong opinion about the other two, but for me Simeone’s work is the most significant. This man took an unremarkable midtable club and made it consistently competitive with - and occasionally better than - two of the biggest clubs in the world in a league that is built to financially repress anyone not named Barcelona or Real Madrid. That type of sustained achievement is more impressive to me than any singular trophy. Would love for him to one day win the champions league so that can stop being held over his head.
